Recently, “Help ‘n’ Travel” organized a game night for charity with loved ones. A delicious buffet was built, cold drinks and a wide selection of games offered. It was allowed to “feed” a piggy bank in its sole discretion and the content went to the family of my South African godchild Vutomi. On several occasions […]

At the end of 2015 I visited Fobeni Village in South Africa! Since the visit, I support Vutomi’s family so that their dear daughter can visit the “Lighthouse Academy”. In addition to the school reports at the end of each school year, I receive regular reports on Vutomi’s educational and health development. Two things are […]

In this beautiful video, the “Project Kaokoland” is presented very vividly. Some months after my last visit to Kaokoland, the “Workshop Project” took shape. It has since become a great success. This project is made for school leavers: in a workshop built especially for this purpose they learn metal and electrical work. Just have a […]

Happy New Year! For 2019, I wish you a lot of love, joy and honest people at your side who will always stand by you, mate! By the way, I find it heartwarming that, time and again, friends approach me and tell me that they would like to help people who have been less fortunate […]

For the new year, there are two donations for Fobeni Village in South Africa. We have my dear friend Simone Bitterer, who donates 100€ to the „Lighthouse Academy“ that I visited end of 2015. The money will be spent on new textbooks. The school enjoys a solid reputation, which is evident by an influx of […]

14/12/ – 18/12/2017 After we have finished our little tour in Kaokoland, I immediately have to prepare my journey home. However, I still have some time left, so I can finally look at the latest progress of the various construction projects. I am glad to see that the new classrooms in Otjimuru are now finished […]

08/12/ – 13/12/2017 When Urs returns on Friday, he is happy that everything went according to his plan in his absence, but he has to get rid of a justified complaint towards my direction: there is no stock of cold beer in the house! Oh man, sorry, sorry, sorry, big beginner’s mistake. The next morning, […]
